About Me

(won't be able to host from the 23rd of August until the 16th of September!)

Hi there!

It's a classic but: the more you know, the more you know you don't know. So I guess I have to keep learning. Hope you guys can help!

I would describe myself as quite social, open minded and considerate. I try to read a lot, play guitar in a band and just generally enjoy being around others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hitchhiking or using ridesharing services is one of the best ways to get around (apart from walking) and I have met and made many people along the way, travelling or hiking that have become dear friends. Couchsurfing is the next stop!

Interests

I'm happiest when I'm on a long hike through nature, or meeting lots of new people in a short time.

Playing guitar has always been my favorite past time. I'm interested in history, politics, storytelling and people that think differently.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a sucker for jazz: from Sydney Bechet to John Scofield and Cannonball Adderly. But I equally love indie, techno, Iggy Pop, Dylan and the Stones just as much.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked about a thousand kilometers through Spain last summer, it was the best decision I've made until today.

Teach, Learn, Share

Man, I love cooking so show me how to make your favorite dish. I'd love to learn more about sustainability, show me some authors I should read, music I should listen to. Or better yet: teach me a song from your country!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you some guitar or get you into podcasts, make a mean pasta putanesca.
